I got a call from Internet Success Strategy or( programcritique.com), and they have set me up for a follow up call on Monday with an internet "guru".
The gentleman explained how they help you set up an internet business that sells different products. They walk you through all of hte steps of being successful, and start up of your home based business.

So my question is has anyone heard of this company, and if so what has been the experience? Thank you for your help, I am new to copywriting, and I do not want to get scammed. The web site looked legite, but I'd like your alls opinion.

Tahnks Again,
April

April,

Be careful. I have no experience with this particular company, but my mother bought into a program like this and sent it to me because I sell on eBay and Half.com. The products were so overpriced. There was no way I'd make a profit from them. I'm not saying this particular company is bad; just do your homework.

Best wishes,

Deb

April,
In your post you say it's "an internet business that sells different products"...

Please pardon my bluntness April, but this tells me that you might be lacking a very important element in becoming a success... it's called "focus".

If you are persuaded by a company that is selling itself on making you money and you don't particularly care what it is ... as long as it makes you money, then you are barking up the wrong tree.

Again, read the words of the adcopy... it cuts down money-making opportunities, but this is exactly what this is.

If you really want to have long lasting happiness in what you do...

figure out your desired niche first... don't ever let anyone else tell you what it should be.

Become a "free-thinker", not a follower.

Folks like this are just waiting for "desperate" passers-by... don't be one of them.

Listen, I used to be one of these people that grabbed anything that looked appealing... but one day I realized it was time to grow up and make decisions for myself.

Learn to say "no" to these types of sites. Realize that there is no shortcut to wealth... and don't "ever" let anyone tell you different.

Change your thinking or you'll end up with a handful of "nothing" to show for your efforts.

And in case you are wondering, I am not a negative thinker, but I can tell you from experience that this stuff should have disappeared in the eighty's, but unfortunately some people still buy into this stuff.

Listen...
as long as desperate folks buy, these types of businesses will stick around...

Don't be another victim of circumstance.

PS - other people have given me the same lecture I'm giving you here and I blew them off as idiots and thought, "They are just jealous because they don't have the guts to take that leap of faith that I do".

Have you ever heard of Amway, Shaklee, etc...

I've have!

Stephen,

I sold Amway about 16 years ago. I also got involved in one MLM "opportunity" about 11 years ago.

April, Rely on yourself. Everything Stephen said is right on the mark. I've tried many businesses and finally came back to what is the most real to me. Whatever you do, be passionate about it.

Hi,

what make me in trouble in the web site is :

1) Design.
2) The hosting.
3) The aim of making ALL in one, some kind of mixing all the stuff(copywriting, marketing, MLM ...) in one place, this make it unclear.

Primo my friend I love this formulation :

Become a "free-thinker", not a follower.

hope that help.

I am still trying to find my way in all of this, and it has been a struggle I'll admit. I greatly appreciate your advice, and warnings to which I will adhere.

Thanks again,
April
